Perfect recipe as-is -- I wouldn't change a thing. The only thing I did different was fill some of the puffs with whipped cream. Just be very careful with the caramel. I got a painful burn when a drop of caramel fell on one of my fingers. Ouch! =(

This recipe really is easy! Took no time at all and I have nerver made anything like it before. My profiteroles were cooked in 15 was the only difference to the recipe. Definately do it again.

Made this for the first time and it came out great! It was a fitting end to our Feast of The Seven Fishes dinner that lasted 7 hours. Just a couple of adjustments were needed to get it right. First, cut down the cornstarch for the pastry cream to 1/4 cup. It became way too thick and I needed to thin it down with more milk. Second, a bit of cornsyrup(1/4cup in the caramel will help with any crystalization problems. I cooked it up to 310F, cooled it a bit, and started to assemble. The sugar would get a little too cool after a while, so I just warmed it on a burner and it was usable again. Oh, and for an extra treat we hid a candy in one of the puffs, and who ever got that puff won a prize.

This was one of the easiest recipes I have ever done. To say it was a hit at our monthly pot luck is a huge understatement. Everyone wanted the recipe. It was the most beautifully presented item ever.There were oooh's and ahhhs from everyone. Everyone commented on how good and light it tasted. Thank you so much.

This recipe has become a staple in my house... I tried it once, becuase my dad used to make it, now I get requests from friends to make a batch for thier parties or celebrations...

The directions are easy to follow, although be careful on the caremel part... I wouldn't make this with kids as it is a little difficult, but its great with a couple of good girl friends...
